Spunky
commander Berit Turner is known for two things: his huge libido and his
lack of a filter―he says what he thinks. Berit sets his mind on being
part of a mission to Ligador to make sure the planet is habitable for
humans. He’s ecstatic when his team is assigned to the task force. A
delegation of Nadisc, a humanoid alien race, accompanies them, and
passion ignites between Berit and their commanding officer, Tom. But
Berit is determined that Tom is just another notch on his bedpost, as he
doesn’t do relationships.

The excursion to Ligador goes wrong
from the beginning, when they discover Ligador has been established as a
breeding station by their worst enemy: the Tash’Ba. Dinosaur-like
creatures become the team’s worst nightmare, and staying alive is going
to take everything they’ve got… and then some.

Kyan had never known true kindness, or what
it felt like to be completely entranced by one person...until he met Blaise.
When his life spins out of control, and a whole new world is opened up to him,
he finds that the only human being he can turn to, may not even be human at
all.

Blaise has spent months trying to figure out the best way to approach his shy
and nervous mate. As the Packmaster in the small town of Rowan Oak, he isn't
used to having to show restraint or patience. When he finally makes his move a
turn of events involving a forgotten note, a disappearing mate, and trouble
with a group of hunters leads to disastrous results.

When Blaise finally catches up to Kyan, what he finds and the answers he gets
are nothing like what he had been expecting. Will the pair be able to
straighten out their misunderstandings and find the happiness they both long
for, or will the Packmaster lose the only thing he has ever had to fight for?

Excerpt:

Kyan ran. His legs burned, his chest was tight
and the fear that clogged his throat was so completely overwhelming that he
just knew at any minute his entire body would give out on him. The heavy rain
pelted down hard, and his small stature, with hardly any muscle or bulk of any
form, quivered from the strain. He pushed himself through the pain, refusing to
give up. The abhorrent idea of allowing the monsters that chased him, to catch
up, was the only thing that kept him moving. That, and the small flutter he
felt in his stomach. The reminder that he was not only running for his own
life, but that of his unborn child’s. Even now, with the small protrusion in
his lower abdomen, the thought almost sent him careening off course.

Pregnant! How could a man be pregnant? It just
shouldn’t be possible.Kyan swiped his auburn hair out of his face, so
that he could see better. The normally spiky locks hung plastered to his
forehead by sweat and rain.

“There he is. Get him!” One of the many voices
that had taunted him for the last hour, shouted.Alarm shot through him when he realized just how
close they had gotten to him. A whimper broke free as he darted his way through
the thick foliage and branches that stuck out and cut through his skin. He
almost lost his footing over a protruding tree root, but luckily he was able to
leap at the last moment, landing firmly on his two feet.Just as he regained his stride, a heavy mass
ploughed into his side, sending him careening to the ground. He barely had
enough time to twist so as not to fall onto his stomach. His entire frame
ached, and all he could do was curl up into a ball, protecting himself and his
child as much as possible.

“Please,” he begged. “God, please.”

“Shhh,” came a vicious hiss from above him. Firm
hands clamped down hard on him as he attempted to shrug them off. “Do you want
them to find us? Keep still and be quiet.”

He froze at the menacing yet familiar voice, and
only then became aware that at some stage he must have closed his eyes. Prying
them open, Kyan stared at the hulking man above him in shock, confusion and not
a little bit of fear.

Jess Buffett was born and raised in New
South Wales, Australia. She is a mum of two, married to her high school
sweetheart.

Jess is a hopeless romantic who is a huge fan of M/M and M/F romance with a
happy ending—anything with hunky men in all their glory, whether they be
Shifters, Vampires, Cowboys, or the boy next door.

A caffeine addict who shamefully can’t make a decent cup of coffee to save her
life, Jess believes in soul mates, happily ever afters, and in love at first
sight, but that sometimes people need a second or a third for the brain to
catch up.

When FBI agent Jerry Lee Parker wakes
from a coma after a murderous attack on his life, he has no memory of his
immediate past. In the blink of an eye, he has gone from having a nearly
photographic memory to recalling nothing of the last six months of his life,
including his partner and lover, John Flynn. While Lee tries to reboot his past
and reconnect with John, there are events at play around him he doesn’t
understand. John is keeping secrets from him, secrets which could get them both
killed.

Matters come to a head when Lee is
hounded to turn over a mysterious artifact, of which he has no knowledge. The
two men wind up in a fight for their lives as they risk everything to keep the
powerful relic out of the hands of a ruthless killer. In order to protect those
he loves, however, John may be forced to make a deal with the devil.

Excerpt:

I knew the moment John walked into the bar.
It was like my sonar pinged, my radar lit up—you name it. I heard the door
open, and without turning around, I knew it was him because the hair on the
back of my neck stood up. Because something in my gut tightened, and my cock
lifted in earnest. I watched him in the mirror as he scanned the room, locked
in on my presence, and stalked toward me like a panther in a pen full of sheep.
Everyone else in the room was aware of him as well. I practically preened when
he came up beside me. He took a seat and signaled the bartender, who came over
with flattering attention.

Sarah
Madison is a veterinarian with a big dog, an even bigger horse, too many cats,
and a very patient boyfriend. She is a terrible cook, and concedes that her
life would be easier if Purina made People Chow. She writes because it is
cheaper than therapy.

1-Welcome
Sarah Madison! Please tell us a bit about yourself and your release.

I live in a small rural area in the South, so I’ve spent most of my
life buried in books. Think Belle from Disney’s animated Beauty and the
Beast. That’s me singing, “There must be more than this provincial life!”
The only men I met could have been Gaston’s brothers. Somehow I met a British
ex-pat who’s also an English Lit major, so I got my happily ever after despite
the odds

Truth and Consequences is book 3 in the Sixth
Sense series. It features FBI Agents Jerry Lee Parker and John Flynn, and
the events that occur when Flynn accidentally touches a mysterious artifact and
gains unusual powers. As the Sixth Sense series unfolds, we learn there is a
set of such boxes, and that Lee and John aren’t the only ones looking for them.
They’re in over their head, and the water is just getting deeper…

2-How
long have you been writing?

I used to write and illustrate my own stories as a child. In middle
school, I wrote a very popular series of adventures that featured a trio of
horse-crazy girls that solved mysteries out of their barn. I used to have to
keep a waiting list for that one! In high school I spent hours writing fanfic,
although I didn’t know that was what it was called. When I graduated and went
to college, for some reason I decided this meant I should ‘put away childish things’,
including any dreams of being a writer. For 20 years I kept my creative side in
a vault, scarcely acknowledging its existence.

One day, a friend introduced me to online fanfiction archives for a
favorite show. I read everything I could get my hands on, and then tentatively
began writing my own fanfic. A million words later, I submitted my first
original story for publication. I’ve never looked back. J

3-What
compelled you to write this particular story?

When I wrote the first story in the Sixth Sense series, Unspeakable Words, I had a much larger
story arc in mind—I knew there was too much story for me to tell in one, even
two novels. For a while there, however, I chickened out. I wasn’t sure I could
pull of the story arc I had in mind, and I considered even dropping the
paranormal aspect of things. Finally I realized that the paranormal plotline
was exactly what distinguished the Sixth Sense series from every other FBI
story out there. Once I re-committed to the original plan, I went for broke!

4-What
gave you the courage to submit your story to a publisher?

Well, I’d been writing fanfic for nearly four years, and my beta
readers kept telling me I should write and submit original stories. By this point,
I’d racked up over a million words of fanfic—and on a whim, I submitted a story
for publication. I never expected to be offered a contract! In fact, my initial
reaction was to jerk the story back and declare it wasn’t ready yet!
Fortunately, I didn’t cave into my fear. Much to my surprise, I kept writing
stories and they kept getting contracted, so here we are.

5-When
creating your characters, do you have models in mind or are they totally
fictional?

I usually have some rough model in my mind. Sometimes just a
photograph. Sometimes an actor who played a particular role. The fascinating
part of the process for me is watching the character grow and become his or her
own person out of the original scaffolding I laid down. I definitely have a
type, and am drawn to certain kinds of characters more than others.

6-Why
did you start writing m/m? Is there something special that draws you to this
genre?

When I first stumbled upon slash fanfiction, I felt as though I’d
finally discovered adult romantic fiction for the first time. There was so much
about it appealed to me. I loved the fact that my two favorite characters were
involved in a relationship were they met as equals. Both characters got to do
the ‘cool’ things, they each took turns being the one that needed rescuing or
being the vulnerable one. There was none of the imbalances I found in typical
romantic fiction, not to mention protagonists I could actually identify with!
Less purple prose as well, with sex scenes that aren’t filled with euphemisms,
but feel real.

As I segued into writing M/M fiction, I realized there were many other
reasons why I identified with the genre. Though I’m a straight woman, I know
what it is like to be discriminated against because of my gender and my
beliefs. I know what it is like to have to hide who I really am, in order to
fit into a society where I feel less and less comfortable with each passing
year. I have never met a homophobe who wasn’t also racist and misogynistic.
Though I am only an ally to the GLBTQ community, I think that if all the
minority and disenfranchised people stand together, our vote will carry the
day.

7-What
are you reading right now? Do you have a favorite author or genre?

At the moment, I’m doing a fair amount of research for the story I’m
working on, which is set in the 1950s. I tend to bounce back and forth between
reading mysteries and sci-fi/fantasy. I adore the classics of the Golden Age of
Mystery—Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh. I think Sayers is my
favorite author—I’m a huge fan of Lord Peter Wimsey.

8-What
are you working on now?

My current WIP is a bit of a departure for me. It’s about a female
agent working for a secret bureau within the CIA created at the end of WW2 to
investigate a series of paranormal events that seem to be associated with the
advent of nuclear testing. She’s sent to recruit a British scientist to join
the agency, and then the pair of them are assigned to work undercover as
husband and wife in a subdivision where some of the events have been recorded.
By day, they have to play at being Ward and June Cleaver, whereas at night,
they become Mulder and Scully. I’m not sure it will have an audience, but I’m
having great fun with it just the same!

9-When
you're not writing, how do you like to spend your time?

I wish I had more free time—I frequently have to choose between writing
and doing something else I love. I take the dogs hiking, and I enjoy
photography. Both of my horses are retired from competition now, but I still
enjoy riding. It hasn’t been a good day unless I spend at least part of it
outdoors.

10-What
are your writing goals for 2015?

Argh. 2015 is almost over, and I’d like very much to have a rough draft
done of my 50s story. I’d like to write more in the Crying for the Moon universe—Nick and
Peter need their own story, and Alex and Tate have more adventures to come as
well! I have a M/M Regency I’m working on, and of course, I need to write the
next installment in the Sixth Sense series!

11-Do you
have personal goals for 2015?

I’ve been struggling with feeling a bit overwhelmed. I think I need to
spend less time on social media and more time living my life. One of the things
I’ve been doing to help me focus on the positives in my life is to jot down
three things every day that I’m grateful for. It’s been interesting to see how
my attitude is slowly changing for the better the longer I keep it up.
